About PleaseSleep

PleaseSleep is a utility software designed for Mac OS X
that helps put your computer to sleep when you know
some other app is preventing your Mac from going to
sleep.

PleaseSleep sits in the background and waits for the
sleep timer you set in Energy Saver preferences pane.
Depending on the preferences you set, PleaseSleep will
try to put your computer to sleep when the scheduled
sleep timer kicks in. PleaseSleep is very easy to
configure, you can enable, disable, and access its
preferences via the system menu bar icon. You can
choose to have PleaseSleep activate the sleep function
all the time, or you can tell PleaseSleep to activate
the sleep function only when certain apps are running.

A great deal of effort has
gone into the creation, maintenance, and customer
support of PleaseSleep. If you find PleaseSleep useful
and are happy with it, we would love if you would
consider donating. Donations help pay for bandwidth and
help pay for the time spent maintaining and improving
the software. Donations are entirely voluntary, and any
donation amount is greatly appreciated. To make your
donation now using Credit Card or PayPal, please click
the "Donate" button. Thank you for your support.

In order to grow our support and keep the development
effort, we are considering making the transition from
donation-ware to a shareware product in the next major
update. This will allow us to continue offering updates
and new features to our software. This will also enable
our stellar customer support to remain that way. If the
transition did occur, to express our appreciation to
all of the people who have sent a verifiable donation
to DragonOne’s PleaseSleep project prior to the
transition, we would grant a registration code for the
next version when the transition occurs.
